Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - San Francisco, CA.

Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full San Francisco rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
